Shoreline

Oil on Canvas - 12x24". Completed Jun 16, 2013. SOLD. This is another painting of the East Fork of the Lewis River, near our home in Washington (pacific northwest). Here I'm trying to stay loose, but not too loose - I'm working to strike the right balance between level of detail and still acheive a good painterly quality.
